New Wedding Bands!

monnikk Rough Rock Total Posts: 52 Last Post: 10/9/2007 Member Since: 1/21/2007	I started off with having a shared-prong band made, and while it did show off the diamonds quite well, poor workmanship from the jeweler, as well as the too-thin band, made me go to a different jeweler to have the diamonds (from the shared prong) reset into a new ring that is much more practical for me. I also decided that I didn't care if my wedding band matched my e-ring and ended up getting a scattered diamond band with a matte finish. Am MUCH happier with this ring! =D

Do you have a photo of your e-ring and band together? Thank you! I do have one, but they just really don't match so it's probably better not to post it. ;D I'll probably be wearing the e-ring on my right hand and perhaps one day get an upgrade of the e-ring to match the scattered band. =D

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Love it!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

(now you've piqued my curiosity!) I'm trying to figure out the e-ring/w-band matching thing too. Who knew it would be so complicated!

Lsyama, I totally understand what you mean..it literally took me SO long to make up my mind about which wedding band to choose and even when I thought I knew, I still ended up with something completely different! But it's worth it...I seriously spent so much more time researching (more like Pricescoping) my wedding band, than any other aspect of the wedding including my dress! I figure the rings have to be good since I'll be wearing them for a looooooooooooong time! What bands are you considering? Btw, thanks Pricescope for giving me great wedding band ideas! heh heh =)

Btw, thanks Pricescope for giving me great wedding band ideas! heh heh =) I'm considering several eternity bands at Fay Cullen (like Musey's), a titanium band (Boone Rings), 7-stone half-eternity from WF, and the list goes on and on and on... and I'm definitely open to other options. What width is your w-band? I think a thin scattered diamond band would look great too. But then, who knows how any of these would actually look next to the e-ring And Pricescope has definitely given me a lot of ideas, but it makes the decision so much harder! Maybe I'll just have to get a bunch of different rings to fit my moods! ETA - Is your band Plat or WG? And is your e-ring made of the same?

monnikk Rough Rock Total Posts: 52 Last Post: 10/9/2007 Member Since: 1/21/2007	Thanks nessvan12! I like the whole scattered/starlight diamond look. I think the matte finish also shows off the sparkle of the diamonds nicely. Lysyama, when will you be getting your e-ring? Or do you have it already?!? I like the rings you're considering so far..enjoy the search! My w-ring is 3.5 mm. =)

(knock on wood) Not sure when bf will actually let me see it though If he doesn't let me see it right away, I'm going to make him do a thorough inspection to make sure everything looks okay Paranoid, yes, but I've seen a few horror stories here as well Thanks for all the info about your w-band! I do prefer the matte finish too - it definitely adds extra oomph!

wolftress Ideal Rock Total Posts: 821 Last Post: 11/3/2009 Member Since: 12/12/2006	Very sleek and modern! It looks like it matches your husband's band much better than a shared prong band would too. "Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow."

I really love your band. Who made it? It looks really substantial and beautiful and I think the matte finish is genius! Congrats! Thanks for the kind compliments! When I was first looking for wedding bands, I was really attracted to the ring pictured below. Then, because I didn't think it would fit my e-ring I decided on the shared prong. When the shared prong didn't turn out, I realized that I wanted a more substantial band after all and saw people's (snlee, maryalaina, etc) scattered bands from whiteflash, liked it and I decided to go for it! When I went to the new jeweler they had a sample scattered band with a matte finish and it looked great cause it really highlighted the little diamonds. I'm based in Manila, Philippines (long ways, from the U.S. I know! :) ) and the jeweler I went to was Hans Bruman http://www.hansbruman.com . I love their workmanship and you're right..the ring is SOLID..I was actually surprised by how heavy it is!

Alleyoop Rough Rock Total Posts: 95 Last Post: 5/20/2008 Member Since: 8/10/2007	Wow! Love the band and love the ering! Love them as a set, also. I like how the diamonds on the scattered band are almost the same size as the diamonds in the ering. That really unites them, I think. Great choices!
